Country: France / Rhône Valley
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
Winery: Ogier / Héritages Elevé en Foudres de Chêne
This is aged in oak, but the vessels are large casks, or foudres, so the impact isn’t that noticeable. The wine is meaty and savory on the nose, but the palate shows more herb-garrigue flavors and superripe cherry fruit. Drink now–2017.
